The achievement of economic development tools and techniques which are currently being used by communities around the country.
The achievement of economic development objectives in most cities will depend on the creation and/or application of a comprehensive economic approach. Because there is not a formula that guarantees success, local officials will need to develop a strategy based on a realistic assessment of what the city's economic future can be. This will require active and appropriate assistance from both public and private sectors.
Since it is important for both public and private sectors to play an equal role in the urban economic development process, the writer has chosen to deal specifically with public-private cooperation in urban development rather than a general discussion on urban economic development.

(Atlanta) provide some of the data for the study. Also, publications, congressional journals. and scholarly journals are used to provide an overview of available economic development tools and techniques. |
